Not a bad preview, but Gischler really needs to stop using the characters we see enough of in other books.

Another Wolverine book, the art looks nice better then what we saw of Bachalo's Age of X varient.

[Optic Rage]

Jesus Christ, at least comment on how nice the art looks? Or something.

Took the words outta my mouth here's hoping Storm shuts that down! The good thing is Balacho is back!

Of course it looks good, but do we really need yet another book recycling the Uncanny cast? Gischler needs to show more diversity or I'm not sticking around.

WOW! That art is SOOOO good!!!

Bachalo is the man! I'd so love to see him on the Wolverine solo book one day. Just stunning!

[NewMutant]

I'm actually excited for this. That shocks me.

Looks great. And why does Gischler have to stop using charaters that appear in other books? Why can't Fraction and Ellis stop using characters that appear in his book?

I'm much more stoked about this arc than I am for anything going on in Uncanny or Astonishing right now, and I think it makes more sense for Logan to be on the New York team anyway considering his Avengers involvement. I know that this group being in NYC is just temporary, but I wouldn't mind seeing Storm and Xavier permanently set up shop there and have a second X-men franchise back on the East Coast. Just my $.02, but if that happpened Logan should definitely go with that group.

Awesome Artwork!!

The art is goregous. (misspelled on purpose) Only CHRIS BACHALO can make an assortment of morlocks look beautiful.


On Diversity, I dont mind. It is the new status quo. I am even starting to enjoy the subplot that all ugly mutants or those who cannot hide their mutations must die and all the good looking mutants that can--even the bad ones--are allowed to be X-men.

Wonderful subtext there.

[Bling! Is God. Period.]

The story looks exciting and exquisite. It's a shame how bad the art is, though.

[streator]

it kind of feels like they just did the whole "x-men in the nyc sewers" thing in uncanny not too long ago with fantomex & predator x.

is bachalo doing any interior work on age of x?

Looks great. And why does Gischler have to stop using charaters that appear in other books? Why can't Fraction and Ellis stop using characters that appear in his book?.

Because it's boring. I don't like that Fraction uses the Astonishing team either, but I'm less irritated with that situation due to Astonishing coming out irregularly. Considering the premise of both books, as the high profile team and the book where important things happen, I doubt the casts are going to change anytime soon.

X-men, on the otherhand, is just a MU team-up book. There's less of a reason for Gischler to stick with the same cast.

[Filthy Mutie]

Looks good. I'm not one to piss and moan about Wolverine in "too many books," but I hope there's a great reason he's out in front and being overwhelmed by the villain of the day. We just saw this last arc.
